ERIN Go Bragh marched into the Birmingham County Junior Cup Final with a 4-2 extra-time victory over Shirley Athletic.

Either Silhill or Cresconians, whose semi-final tie was postponed due to an unfit pitch, now stand between silverware and Erin, who had four-goal hero Marcus Brown to thank for their progression.

It took only 15 minutes for Brown to net his first brace of goals but Shirley pulled one back before the break through in-form Ryan Long.

Athletic then forced the game into extra-time, Long again on hand to fire home a rebound.

However, Brown only needed the first half of extra-time to complete his impressive tally and send Erin through to the final.

Coton Green upset local rivals Dosthill in the Fazeley Charity Cup with a 2-0 victory.

Clearly frustrated by their lack of recent action due to adverse weather conditions, Coton took it out on their opponents right from the off.

Tom Bassett fired home the opener after a mazy run from the halfway line and, after missing a second-half penalty, Coton extended their lead and they wrapped up victory thanks to Colin Reeves.

In the Senior Cup, Walsall Phoenix’s decision to give up home advantage, due to their unsuitable pitch, backfired as Boldmere earned a place in the semi-finals with a 4-3 victory.

In the only Premier Division fixture to survive the conditions, a late Tom Naraine goal, which completed his hat-trick, gifted Sutton United all three points over Ajax United.

Naraine had opened the scoring for Sutton but Joe Mobley equalised for the hosts. Naraine struck yet again but Ajax rallied once more and found their second equaliser through Chris Yates at which point 2-2 looked a far result.

However, Naraine had better ideas with a spectacular strike from 25 yards to win it for Sutton.
